I am very, very, very blessed in my life that I have an amazing relationship with my children. I thank God every day and I never take it for granted.

As parents and I think especially me being a single mom would you know that they’re OK and they’re on a good pass for their life you just can’t beat it. It’s a sense of peace. That is unbelievable.

So parents enjoy your kids it goes by in an instant and their adults. #

Why I Love Checking Babies After a C-Section 🤍

A C-section can be absolutely necessary and lifesaving. But a baby born by C-section has a different transition into the world than a baby who moves through labor and the vaginal canal.

Two things I think are especially important:

1. They may experience less of the sensory input that comes with labor and vaginal birth.
During labor, contractions and movement through the birth canal provide enormous amounts of pressure, touch, movement and proprioceptive sensory input to a baby’s developing nervous system. With a planned C-section before labor, much of that experience is bypassed.

2. Their first exposure to microbes is different.
During vaginal birth, babies are exposed to maternal vaginal and intestinal microorganisms that contribute to the early development of their microbiome. Babies born by C-section tend to have a different pattern of early gut colonization. We are still learning how these early differences influence immune and metabolic development over time.

And remember, a C-section isn’t necessarily a “stress-free” birth for baby’s body. Positioning in utero, uterine contractions if labor occurred, and the delivery itself can all contribute to tension.

This is why I love evaluating these little ones after birth. With an incredibly gentle chiropractic and craniosacral assessment, I look at head and neck movement, cranial tension, jaw function, feeding mechanics, body symmetry and how comfortably baby is moving and settling.

C-section moms need extra support too. Your body just went through pregnancy, birth AND major abdominal surgery. ❤️

No guilt. No judgment about how your baby entered the world. Just information, choices and support for both mom and baby.

Be Well. Be Kind.

🥑 IS IT REALLY AVOCADO OIL?

This one surprised me.

A new 2026 study from researchers at UC Davis, published in Applied Food Research, tested processed foods that listed avocado oil as their oil ingredient.

Researchers extracted the oils from the foods and analyzed their fatty-acid and sterol profiles to see whether they matched authentic avocado oil.

The results:

🥑 54 avocado-oil products tested
❌ 48 of 54 (89%) had oil profiles inconsistent with authentic avocado oil
❌ 26 of 28 chips (93%)
❌ 10 of 14 mayonnaises (71%)
❌ 12 of 12 salad dressings (100%)

The researchers found evidence suggesting the presence of other, less expensive oils in many of these products, even though avocado oil was the oil listed on the label. (UC Davis⁠)

Brands represented among the products tested included:

Bella Sun Luci
BetterBody Foods
Bettergoods
Boulder Canyon
Bragg
Briannas
California Olive Ranch
Chosen Foods
Good Health
Graza
Grove AvoYeah!
Jackson’s
Kettle Brand
Lay’s
LesserEvil
Primal Kitchen
Sensible Portions
Siete
Simply Frito-Lay
Sir Kensington’s
Sprouts Farmers Market
Torres
Trader Joe’s

⚠️ Important: This does NOT mean every product from every brand on this list failed. These are brands represented in the study, and the findings apply to the specific products and lots researchers tested.

Why does this matter?

Many of us intentionally pay more for products made with avocado oil because we are trying to make a different choice for ourselves and our families.

We should be able to trust what is written on a food label.

This isn’t about creating fear around food. It’s about transparency, informed choices and knowing what you’re actually paying for.

Read your labels. Ask questions. Stay curious. 🥑

Your child isn’t lazy. Their brain may be working harder than you realize.”

“Does your child sit down to do homework and 20 minutes later they’re staring out the window, frustrated, or telling you they just can’t do it?

Sometimes we assume they’re distracted, unmotivated, or simply not trying hard enough.

But attention is much more complicated than that.

When I work with kids who are struggling with focus, ADHD, anxiety, sleep, or learning, I want to understand how they’re functioning, not just the label they’ve been given.

That’s one of the reasons I use neurofeedback.

We can measure patterns of brainwave activity and use that information to create individualized neurofeedback training.

And here’s what I really want parents to know:

Your child is not their diagnosis.

Sometimes the child who’s being told to ‘try harder’ is already trying incredibly hard.

If you’d like to understand neurofeedback, I’m starting a FREE weekly Neurofeedback 101 webinar where I’ll explain brainwaves, brain mapping, how neurofeedback works, what a session looks like, and answer your questions.

Call Ocean Wellness at 858-792-7296 for details.”

They may be working harder than you realize.

Happy Breastfeeding Week 🤍

Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean it is always easy.

After more than three decades of caring for moms and babies, I’ve seen how much goes into this relationship. Birth itself can place stress on a newborn’s tiny body, particularly the neck, jaw and cranial structures. Sometimes that tension can make getting a comfortable, effective latch more challenging.

That’s one reason I love checking babies early.

Through very gentle chiropractic and craniosacral care, we can assess the baby’s movement, jaw and neck tension, head preference and overall nervous system function. I also love working alongside lactation professionals when additional breastfeeding support is needed.

And moms need care too. Pregnancy, labor, delivery, feeding positions, sleepless nights and constantly holding a newborn are a LOT on your body.

Most importantly, there is no one “perfect” breastfeeding journey. Some moms breastfeed exclusively. Some pump. Some supplement. Some use formula. A healthy, supported mom and a nourished baby are what matter.

To every new mom: give yourself grace. You and your baby are learning each other. 💕

If breastfeeding has been difficult, or you simply want your newborn checked after birth, give us a call.

American Academy pediatrics stated that six months is a good time to start feeding infants. I do not think they should eat anything prior. You have to think about how immature their digestive system is. It needs time to develop.

I think it should be based on the individual child as well. I feel like kids should be able to sit up in a highchair. From a mechanical standpoint that aids in them chewing and swallowing.

I’m a big fan of Baby lead weaning. It’s great for fine motor skills pincher grasp and you’re not a show to cook!

I’m not a fan of grains. What kid isn’t going to love pasta Rice! We want to get their pallet used to eating vegetables.

I’m also not a fan of pouches. We survived without pouches for decades. One they suck the pouch which isn’t good for their facial development and two it’s plastic. I understand every once in a while, but I really do not recommend that on a daily basis

If you know me, you know, I’m a huge advocate or organic food. All the pesticides they use are not good for the environment the butterflies, the bees and animals and humans.

It has a domino effect and it affects everybody at some point.

So if you buy non-organic pasta. It’s grown with pesticides glyphosate. They use glyphosate to dry out the wheat. So you’re getting double the dose of poison basically. Yet another reason to buy organic.

Those kiddos aren’t broken or misbehaving. Their brain is regulated. And they really can’t help themselves. It breaks my heart

I see this over and over in children and it’s getting worse over the last 30 years. I feel as though kids are over scheduled over stressed. Kids need to be kids and chill and hang out with their friends and be bored and let them get creative.

When I work with these kiddos, I do a neurological exam nutritional exam structural and cranial exam and we figure out the best treatment for them because it’s different for every child.

It breaks my heart when I see kiddos like this because they deserve so much better.

I think this is brilliant, checking all infants at birth to determine if they have a Tongue Tie or not.

It would eliminate so much pain grieve in sorrow for moms and babies.

I have seen more moms that I could count over the last three decades that weren’t able to breast-feed and it was just a Tongue Tie. My heart breaks for them.

It’s a 30 second assessment literally everybody should do it in the early you get it done. It’s just easier on Mom and Baby.

Tummy time

Builds head control and neck control. Strengthen, shoulders trunk and muscles needed for movement. later encourages Baby to lift her and visually explore their environment provides important sensory and movement experiences. Once they are able to hold their head up in tummy time that strengthens their core for motor foundation, rolling, sitting and even crawling.

Crawling.

This will emphasize Crossbody movement. Crawling coordinates the right and left side of the body. Build shoulder, wrist and hip and core mobility and stability. Provides a tactile and proprioception input through hands, knees and joints. Developed spatial awareness and motor planning. Helps Baby practice, coordinating vision and movement.

It is so important for these babies to do these very basic simple developmental process for neurological development. Development is not a race. I don’t want parents comparing their babies. I want you watching the quality and cemetery of the bodies movement giving them lots of opportunities to explore the floor.
